On behalf of the Board of Trustees, it is my privilege to present the Health Professions
Education Foundation’s (HPEF) 2013-2014 Annual Report. This report highlights the
positive impact HPEF has on California’s medically underserved communities. By providing
scholarships and loan repayments to students and health professionals in various fields,
HPEF continues to contribute to California’s changing health care landscape by awarding
its scholarships and loan repayments to culturally and linguistically responsive healthcare
professionals who can meet the needs of California’s diverse communities.
Throughout HPEF’s 27-year history, this foundation has grown from only a few to the
thirteen programs currently administered. From July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, HPEF
received 4,694 applications from health care students and graduates requesting $___ in
financial assistance. Of the qualified applications received, we awarded $31,835,101 to
2,083 students and health professionals. Our award recipients are committed to working
in medically underserved areas of this state, and it is their work that continues to inspire
me as physician and as the Chairman of the Board.
The Board of Trustees and I look forward to working with you to support the mission of
the Health Professions Education Foundation. We welcome collaborative partnerships,
both public and private, that not only facilitate health care access but that also help to
bring awareness to our wonderful programs. I invite you to visit the Health Professions
Education Foundation’s Website at www.healthprofessions.ca.gov and participate in
“Giving Golden Opportunities!”
Gary Gitnick, MD, PresidentBoard of Trustees
The last years have marked an increased interest by policy makers to reform
the country’s and state’s health care system. The debate continued about
program expansions, financing options, costs to individuals, employers and
other stakeholders, individual mandates, and eligibility. These issues resonated
in California where almost 7 million Californians were uninsured and residents in
56 of California’s 58 counties live in a medically underserved area.
One issue that receives bi-partisan support from policy makers, researchers,
academia, employers, patients and other stakeholders is the incongruence
between supply and demand for health providers. California faces a shortage of
mental health professionals, primary care providers and allied health workers
and the demand will continue to grow for a culturally and linguistically compe-
tent health workforce as our state becomes more diverse both in racial and
ethnic composition, age and geographic location.
The Health Professions Education Foundation expands access to care for Cali-
fornia’s medically underserved communities by providing scholarships and loan
repayments. As California implements health care reform, I encourage you to
support one tried and tested solution: the Foundation’s programs which en-
courage health professionals to practice in medically underserved communities
thereby increasing access to care, health care quality and outcomes.

The Health Professions Education Foundation (HPEF) improves access to
healthcare in underserved areas of California by providing scholarships,
loan repayments, and programs to health professional students and
graduates who are dedicated to providing direct patient care in those
areas. In return for this support, recipients agree to provide direct
patient care in a medically underserved area (MUA) of California
for a period of one to three years.

Saving and ChangingLives Daily
This opportunity, as an awardee, has allowed me to see the light at
the end of the tunnel. As a 2004 MSW graduate I have officially been
paying student loans for 10 years. In the mental health field there is
such a huge need yet service providers are limited due to the amount
of work and the low pay range. In other words it’s not a field you go
into if you plan on being rich! This makes it difficult to justify the
thousands of dollars spent in obtaining the education to do the work
we so dearly love. Thank you for this opportunity to help lighten the
financial load as I continue to remain dedicated servicing the under
served populations. Saving and changing lives daily. This award
allows me to focus more on my own family without having to face
the financial stress.

Mental Health Loan Assumption Awardee
I recently received an award from the Mental Health
Loan Assumption Program (MHLAP) through the
Health Professions Education Foundation for the
2014/2015 year. Receiving this award, in part, will
allow me to obtain continuing education hours
required by my licensing board. More importantly
the loan forgiveness will free up funds I will use
elsewhere to attend professional conferences and
training to increase my understanding of specific
diseases, like childhood cancer and add to my clinical
skills. It is important to me to provide the best,
evidence based interventions for the patients and
families I work with in a variety of specialty clinics.
I am a sole practitioner therefore the only way
for me to gain new skills is attending workshops,
trainings and conferences personally or through
webinars. Additionally, I am interested in alternative
therapies for my pediatric patients that help the
manage treatment related anxiety, depression or
other anticipatory psychosomatic symptoms. I can
only obtain professional training in these alternative
modalities by participating in the specific courses.
These classes can be costly and they often require
travel to training sites. Although the medical center
supports the use of these interventions, continuing
education and conference attendance there is lim-
ited reimbursement participation. In sum, receiving
this award will allow me to increase clinic skills and
knowledge and will likely lead to better care for
patients and their families.
